“花落花开,不管流年度”:司马槱与苏小小的人鬼恋

“Flowers Bloom or Fade,Regardless the Passing of Time”:the Man&Ghost Love of Sima You and Su Xiaoxiao

苏小小是位史籍无载、生平难考却地上有墓、诗中有名的迷幻女性。南朝民歌《钱塘苏小小歌》给文人们提供了一个形象朦胧的“苏小小”雏形,唐宋以后的文人们不断地以诗词想象、小说情节去丰满她、激活她,终于使她成为钱塘第一才妓。实际上,苏小小是包括沈建在内的一个中国文人集体。为扩大苏小小的声名和影响而起到巨大助推作用的是白居易和刘禹锡。晚唐诗中人们虽然仍然没有忘记刘白等人集体塑造的“妓女”苏小小形象,但读了晚唐诗人的诗作,更会觉得中唐诗人极力渲染的苏小小不过是个缥缈的传说。宋人的几部书都记载了苏小小、司马槱的人鬼恋。历史上,文人的心底横亘着一个苏小小情结。

Su Xiaoxiao is a mysterious woman,who has no historical records,her life records are difficult to verify,but she has a tomb on the ground and her name In poems.The folk song of the South Dynasty The Song of Qiantang Su Xiaoxiao provides a dimmed prototype of“Sun Xiaoxiao”,which made the literati after the Tang and Song Dynasty constantly used the imagination of poetry and the plot of the novel to plump and activate her,finally making her the first talented prostitute in Qiantang.Actually Sun Xiaoxiao is a collective of Chinese literati including Su Jian.Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi were huge boost to expand Sun Xiaoxiao's reputation and influence.But after reading the poems in the late Tang Dynasty,it made you feel that Sun Xiaoxiao heightened by the poets in the middle Tang Dynasty is only an ethereal legend.Several books in the Song Dynasty recorded the love between Sun Xiaoxiao and Sima You.There is a complex of Sun Xiaoxiao rooted in the heart of literati In history.It seems that there was a Su Xiaoxiao in history who has made so many literati think about her repeatedly.
